The forces of the Vril Society have been preparing while their leadership has been busy pondering new battle strategies.

Now they feel the moment is right so their forces take to the field in Vril Escalation, hoping to dominate over the other cabals. Powered by their mastery of Vril and their advanced technology they have planned 4 weekly operations to expand their territories and influence.

Next week as the leaderboards are reset on the 8th of December at 00:00 PDT the top 20 Neophytes get 100 Influence, the top 15 Adepti get 200 Influence and the top 10 Cabalists get 300 Influence. The top 10 New Stars of the first week will get 100 Influence + a random card from the Vril Society.

Do your goals align with the Vril Society? Will you help them in their campaigns or will you try to hinder their plans?

Battles have been fought and victories attained as the first week of Vril Escalation is behind us. Check the photo to see if you've risen to the top of the players.

Vril Society began their road to dominion with a blast, gaining strength and influence while taking over territory. The experienced Tadamkain entrusted the knowledgeable occultist Karl Maria Viligut to lead a force of the Society’s best against Morgana Le Fay and her force of battle-hardened troops.

Mechanics and Bramin Engineers supported the Vril-ya Novices on the ground while Zeppelins and Rocketeers attacked from the air. The alchemical products of the Errant Chemists seemed very effective against the nature based Primal alliance. The Society’s mastery of the strange Vril energy could be seen from afar and proved too much for the opposing side. No matter their experience, the Banshees and Spriggans could not stand their ground and were forced to retreat to fight another day.

Bolstered by their effective performance Tadamkain could move Viligut’s victorious force towards new opportunities and new battles.

And battles there will be as the next reset will happen a week from now, on the 15th of December at 00:00 PDT.

Then, more rewards will be given to those that succeed. The top 20 Neophytes will get 100 Influence, the top 15 Adepti 200 Influence, the top 10 Cabalists 300 Influence and the top 10 New Stars 100 Influence. In addition to these rewards, all the winners will also get a random common card from the Vril Society.

The fighting continues as Rocketeers and Vril Mutants and Berserkers and more battle to enact the leadership's plans.

The War of Cabals has continued and exceptional commanders have risen in rank. You might be one of them, just check the image to make sure!

As the Society with its allies continued their push for domination, the seasoned veteran of many battles, PlagaDeRatas instructed Alistair Crowley to take his force of Sons of Osiris with some Dragon Enclave reinforcements to head them off. As a strategically prepared Sandstorm slowed the oblivious approaching force, Crowley’s experienced priests and the Enclave’s wily smugglers prepared an ambush for them. Portals were prepared and strange animals were herded and made ready to charge in an instant! The Enclave’s wisdom and teachings were a great aid as the experienced force lay in wait.

Approaching the ambushing Crowley was the famed alchemist, Franz Tausend, who marched in charge of a group of some of the Order’s finest, with some aid from the Vril Society. As a Zeppelin flew overhead on the ground Transmuters walked side-by-side with Assassins and the usually neutral Diplomats. Perhaps the force was on their way to a nearby city, trying to convert its rulers to follow the Dominion.Unfortunately for them, Tausend’s troops did not spot the ambush in time. Several Automatons walked straight into a portal that appeared in front of them and were never seen again. Hearing a roar, a Vicar and an Agent turned their eyes upwards only to see the blood thirsty eyes of several Lions of Ammit.

The Order’s forces tried to rally but were wholly unprepared as Blazing Dragons appeared from their previous hiding place in the clouds.In the end, the battlefield lay quiet, only the sounds of carrion eaters breaking the silence. The victorious force commanded by PlagaDeRatas marched on.

The next break in the fighting for domination will take place on December 22nd at 00:00 PDT. The most successful players will then be awarded with Influence and cards provided by the Vril Society.

The top 20 Neophytes will get 100 Influence and the top 15 Adepti can expect 200 Influence. The best Cabalists will be rewarded with 300 Influence. Additionally, winners from all three categories will get a Community chosen card from the Vril Society. The top new players, New Stars who registered during the 7 days before the reset will get 100 Influence and the Community chosen Vril card to help build their forces.

As the third week ends and the armies take a breather, check the included image to see if you’ve climbed the leaderboards and won Influence and the Community voted Vril Society card, Zeppelin.

While the industrious Adeptus player Deckard marched through the night across the destroyed landscape with his troops led by the ancient and knowledgeable Karl Maria Viligut they were set upon by a Primal force.

His combined number of the Society’s and the Order’s best were not caught unawares, though, since they had arranged for effective scouting by the Vril-ya Novices, supported by their Zeppelins with their searchlights. Robbed of their ambush advantage the forces of the Covenant and the Brotherhood nevertheless proceeded with their attack.

A strange frost appeared before the various Primal creatures made contact with the Underworld Chargers. Spriggans leapt from nearby trees as strange pigs ran ahead heedless of the danger. A few Mechanics were entranced by what rose from a nearby pond and were magically decomposed before the eyes of a Armanic Warrior, who proceeded to deal with the newly appeared ungarbed woman. Angered by the loss a Faery Warrior flew towards Viligut, perhaps hoping to cut off the head of the snake, as it were. It, however, did not account for the suffocating, rapidly appearing gas cloud that it could not escape from.

As dawn broke and shone upon the battlefield the surviving force of the Order and the Society gathered what was left of their forces and proceeded with their mission. The surviving Primal forces, injured and beaten limped back to their resting places, hoping for a better outcome in the future.

The final week of Vril Escalation starts and lasts all through to the 29th of December at 00:00 PDT. The top players divided into Neophytes, Adepti and Cabalists can then expect the following rewards.

The best Neophytes will get 100 Influence and a random Rare card from the Vril Society.The top Adepti players will be rewarded with 200 Influence and a random Rare Vril Society card.The most successful Cabalists get 300 Influence and a random Rare card from the Vril Society.

Additionally, the best scoring New Stars who registered during the week get 100 Influence and a random card from the month’s sponsors, the Vril Society.

Do you have what it takes to dominate and lead your forces to victory? Join the War of Cabals!

Vril Escalation ends, has it been worth it for the Society? That is up for debate. What’s not up for debate is that great commanders have succeeded in many operations and the best players have been awarded with Influence and Vril cards! As usual, check the picture for details.

An army commanded by Boris Kane approached a small city. They had received explicit order from igorik to take it over and that was their goal. The city seemed teeming with forces from the Enclave and the Sons of Osiris but there were small holes in their security and opportunities to exploit them for those with a keen eye.

A few Familiars and Spriggans approached ahead of the rest to scope out the situation. They had hoped to use the tall grass around the outer skirts of the city to approach undetected but, unfortunately, a strong wind picked up and by disturbing the grass revealed their hiding place. Some Yellow Sea Smugglers had been conducting their business nearby and happened to catch a glimpse of the approaching primal creatures and managed to raise the attention of a nearby Shadow Dragon. The dragon flew towards the intruders and managed to capture them after a brief tussle. Then it was up to the Enlightened Torturer to make them give up their secrets.

Not hearing from his scouts Boris Kane pondered and pondered on what to do and how to proceed. Had they been captured, were they dead already? After a while spent wondering he decided. The attack might have been compromised but they had clear instructions. There was no choice. The order went out and the forces previously hidden in nearby forest moved to attack.

What happened in the city is a mystery. Onlookers from a close-by village saw a badly hurt Blazing Dragon flying away in the early hours of the morning and a smuggling ship sunk in the harbor. What is clear, however, is that the leadership of the city changed hands during the night and now interim governor Boris Kane was seen making the rounds inspecting the city folk.

A quick blitzkrieg brings the year to an end as the players fight in the Vril Mayhem. Please see the corresponding thread for more information.

As the new year approaches, there have been rumors among those with an ear close to the ground that something stirs in the east. Is it a reaction to the Vril Society’s efforts or something new entirely? The truth may be hard to fathom but what is clear is that Dragon Serenity awaits!

These are the best of the best players from across all four weeks of Vril Escalation with the highest individual scores. Let’s congratulate haymaker (2034), 7th.Continent (2034) and Tadamkain (2025) for their awesome efforts.

The champions will be rewarded with a card of their choice from the Vril Society!
